Joe Jacobson: Wycombe Wanderers captain on antisemitism rise in football
Wycombe Wanderers captain Joe Jacobson says antisemitic abuse aimed at him required his club to organise personal protection before a game this season.
The 37-year-old, one of the few professional Jewish players in England, received abusive messages online.
He told 5 Live Breakfast about how the abuse led to his club taking precautions ahead of a fixture earlier this season.
He said: “It was something I didn’t realise would happen going to a football match.â€
